Wizards, Porter fail to do a deal, opening door Nets bid

The Nets appear ready to once again gamble on a restricted free agent, this time Otto Porter, the 6’8” Washington small forward. The Wizards wanted to lock up Porter early in free agency but as of Saturday morning, no deal, as David Aldridge tweeted...

Told Wizards' meeting with Otto Porter is over. Does not appear they reached agreement tonight. WAS has repeatedly vowed to match any offer.

The belief now is that the Nets will move in and offer a big deal, almost certainly the max at four years and $100 million, to the 23-year-old who was one of the top three point shooters in the NBA last season, hitting 43.
